Hi There,

My DS is almost 9 weeks old and we seem to be having trouble getting him to sleep more than 30-40 minutes at a time during the day unless he sleeps in my arms then he will sleep for up to 3 hours or more.

He can settle himself to sleep but when he wakes 30-40 minutes later I can not get him to settle back to sleep no mater how long and hard I try (unless he sleeps in my arms then he will sleep a further 2-3 hours). I have tried the techniques on this site but he just wont go back to sleep.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Was anyone elses baby like this? Did they eventually sort themselves out?

I also have a 2 year old DD who is craving my attention as it seems I spend my whole day trying to get DS to sleep and stay asleep or I am holding him for hours at a time.

Also he sleeps well during the night usually only waking for 1 maybe 2 feeds.

Thanks in advance
